what kind of MA they teach is a McDojo. I have had two schools do that. The first one told me to go watch The Perfect Weopon to see what Kenpo was about and the second was an Akido school that told me to watch Seagal. Just thought I would add something in the spirit of the forum name.

I had that experience with a Kenp school; however, then I got to train with Speakman (the guy who starred in the movie) and he openly admitted that the fight scenes in the movie used the same technique series taught to American Kenpo students.

So, perhaps it seemed weird, but the suggestion was not without merit. Watch the movie, see actual Kenpo.

I was at that school for 4 weeks. He wanted to give me a black "belt" so I could be an instructor after two months of being there, due to my previous training, but wanted me to pay $350 a month to do so.
